Getting banded day after Xmmas

Hi all,

I'm new to this type of forum.  Looks like many are used to blogs, My Space, You Tube, etc.  So it may take me a while to get the hang of this.

It is really interesting to see the different tests and pre-op routines everyone has or is going through.  I had to start my liquid diet a week before surgery...oh boy, it has been tough going to office parties and other get-together not being able to eat or have a glass of wine.  So there I am sipping on water...yum!

I'm a bit nervous but more excited about getting the surgery.  And dang - even though my insurance is covering most, I'm still surprised how much money I'm forking out in co-pays, fees, etc.  But, I know it is worth it!

Wishing everyone a happy holiday season!

Hello and welcome.

What? Wine isn't a liquid?  Thank goodness somebody forgot to tell ME!

 

Wishing you luck and much success!

 

 

Well now, that is funny!  I just thought if I cheated the doctor would know...a little paranoid, huh!

Thanks for your well wishes!

i hope all goes well with your surgery....its justa  few days way :)

Thanks...I was just finishing a journal entry.  I've never really done a diary/journal before, and I'm not planning on writing in it every day, but thought it was a good idea to have another outlet for 'the journey'.

Strange to think that 48 hours from now the surgery will be over.

Good luck tomorrow! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. We'll all be looking forward to helping you through your recovery!! Remember to sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk. lol

Thanks so very much...spent most of the day cleaning and do laundry...ugh, I'm really exhausted...but, I wanted to keep busy!

I'll let you know how it goes...should be home sometime Saturday afternoon.  And yes, I look forward to slow sipping and walking...lol.
